Book description
Lost, baffled, and alone in Willesden's mean streets, Detective
Constable Dangerous Davies is up against the cream of criminality.
Newspaper theft (the work of organized crime?), household robbery
(including cheese from the fridge), it's all grist to his mill. When
Dangerous is beaten up, yet again, at a European Friendship dinner
dance he reluctantly takes some sick leave.
Recuperating in Bournemouth he is approached by a member of the
local Widows' Luncheon Club. She wants him to find out the truth about
her husband's disappearance. Dangerous declines. It's against the
rules. Back in Willesden a further beating helps change his mind.
So starts a double life of regular casework and moonlighting as
Dangerous lurches into a mystery fit to confuse the great Holmes himself...
